The Crime Free Programs are innovative, law
enforcement based crime prevention solutions designed to help keep
illegal activity off rental property. There are currently nine Crime
Free Programs being offered. The Crime Free Programs were
successfully developed at the Mesa Arizona Police Department in
1992. The International Crime Free Programs have spread to nearly
2,000 cities in 44 U.S. states, 5 Canadian Provinces, Mexico,
England, Finland, Japan, Russia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and
Puerto Rico. Recently, Australia has expressed interest. Select a
Crime Free logo from the left column to learn more about each
program.
The Crime Free Programs consist of three-phases that are
completed under the supervision of local law enforcement. The
cornerstone of the Crime Free Programs is the partnership between
law enforcement and the community working together to prevent crime.
Law enforcement coordinators are certified trainers of the Crime
Free programs and will provide the initial program training and
property survey. Property owners and managers make the commitment to
learn and apply the Crime Free Programs to help keep illegal
activity off their rental property. This combination of resources
has proven to be successful in fighting crime.
Property managers can become individually certified after
completing training in each phase while the physical property itself
can only be certified upon completion of all three phases.The
anticipated benefits of a fully certified property are reduced
crime, a more stable resident base, and reduced exposure to civil
liability. See testimonials and
success stories.
What the Association Offers

information sharing, and assistance. This Association is also
dedicated to helping those who do not have a local or state Crime
Free Association, but are interested in starting one. This
Association may also be able to help you with grant writing
